All good pet owners know what tasty treats their little ones find irresistible. Animals will oftentimes eat anything, and whether they prefer the traditional biscuits or pieces of meat to something more exotic, comes down to an individual’s preference. One mini-pig in Palm Beach, Florida has made clear to everyone that his favorite food is potato chips.
The little piggy was captured on film by Hanna Balicki chomping down on crisps and squealing in delight. The noises that escape his tiny body are peculiar and funny all at once. It sounds like he is saying “nom, nom, nom, nom” as he eats the salty treats. When he is done with one chip he oinks and bellows for more. He is fed several more and quickly gobbles them up in sheer joy.
This pig’s guilty pleasure is pigging out on potato chips! While the video has drawn some criticism from people who think chips are an unhealthy and bad choice to feed a pig, they really need not worry. An Ohio State study found that “potato chips are the snack of choice for pigs…[and]… the chips provide the pigs with a higher energy diet.”
While that study was specifically done with potato chip scraps, people still need not worry. As long as the little fella is fed the high sodium treat in moderation he should be just fine. Plus, the pleasure the tiny porker takes in nomming on the chips makes him so lovable and happy! How could you not let him have his treats?
